And yes, I do believe he told the truth. God IS the author of life, God does bring good even out of bad situations, and He has promised that we will not be given more than we can bear.
Very, very important truths that have been made very, very real to me over the course of my life and that can mean life and hope to ANYBODY in a crisis situation.
I’m sad for you if you don’t believe those things are true.
I wish he had said what he meant in a way that would not be distorted as easily. But the best I can do is to affirm what he said and not the distortions that the media is presenting.
God does not make his intentions known to mere humans.
His Book does tell us what things we should avoid and how we should approach Him and life.
Within that Book are many warnings about an uncontrolled tongue, Mourdock would be advised to pay careful attention to them as well as to the warnings about how and where Evil sets the snare for the unaware.
I believe Islam to be a corruption of Christian and Jewish beliefs, Mad Mo to be a lunatic, fraud and murderous pedophile who brought almost nothing positive to the world.
HOWEVER, I am not going to immediately launch into those truths if I am talking to a muslim neighbor or running for office. But will have to approach them in a much more circumspect manner, diplomatically and kindly.
